search and replace strings in file

[scimatic]

How would I write a program that could search and replace strings in a text file. The string I want to search for is "," and replace with a ~

The problem is that I want to replace the comma and the quotes with the tilda in a file and i get errors with having double quoted strings, like "","" because I want to search and replace 3 characters which are quote comma quote.

Your search string should use escape sequences to signify quotes like this:

\",\"

Example:

text.find("\",\"");

 

[BlackDice]

you have to escape the quote character. so instead of your replace string being

"",""

it should be

"\",\""
